RENEWABLE ENERGY {RES-100}
The conservation of environmental resources is one of today´s hot topics. As our natural resources dwindle, finding alternative, or eco-friendly, solutions to energy and consumption has become the cornerstone in the conservation effort. Solar panels, hybrid cars, thermoelectric watches and hydro-powered machines are just a few examples of this effort. The concept behind all of these products is renewable energy. Heathkit Educational Systems´ Renewable Energy course introduces students to the principles of thermoelectricity, solar cells and fuel cells (renewable energy). Through a series of hands-on experiments, students will learn the fundamentals and applications of renewable energy, and how it fits into the real world of today.
